My name is Patrick Woods. I have worked for many

years in the film industry in NYC on a variety of projects that have included feature films, television shows, commercials, and music videos. All of it behind the cameras, in the art department.

​

This website contains work from another world entirely -  that of my own photography.

​

It is named for a little town that I know in southwestern Pennsylvania. The maps say it is Washington, PA, but

long before that it was criss-cross with Indian trails,

and at their fires it was called Catfish Camp.

My grandparents had a farm there, and as kids we spent summers walking the creeks, pant legs rolled to our knees, turning over rocks in search of wonder.

Explorers, scientists, we were wild things. 

​

Turn a page, and now Catfish Camp is something else again. But much like then, it is a place where the water always runs cool and clear, and you can still squeeze the soft mud up between your toes on a hot afternoon.

​

Might be just the ticket for when you need to get away from the routine. Pictures.

 

Many thanks for stopping by, and welcome to Catfish Camp!
